Programme of B3
You are free to make your own choices during the third year.
Choose courses that you feel best reflect your interests and desired specialization. Do not forget to complete the Writing course, Philosophy and Academic Skills. Below, the specialization courses in chemistry are listed with the period in which they are taught.
We recommend that you check out other degree programmes as well, because including courses from other disciplines enables you to broaden your programme.
Make sure that you pick the chemistry courses that are relevant for your internship and future master's specialization!

Half of your elective space must be filled with priority electives. The full list with priority electives can be found here.
The first semester of the third year is designated as the minor and exchange semester. A number of faculty minors are offered during these periods. See the separate minors prospectus. You are not obligated to choose a minor during this semester. Instead you can follow the regular electives. You may also assemble your own minor with courses that are not taught in semester 5. This minor must be approved by the Examination Board.
You conclude your Bachelor's programme with a research internship. Information on requirements, and how to arrange an internship can be found elsewhere in the prospectus.
